#556 - 1949 Cadillac Deville Series 62
VIN: 496146285
Odometer: 12525
Engine: 331ci V8
Trans.: 3-spd Auto
Here is a wonderful example of Motor Trend magazine's very first "Car of the Year." The Cadillac De Ville outshined the rest of the field for that honor in 1949. The all-new V8 engine produced more power, and was far lighter, than the old flathead of previous years and the Fisher body and Fleetwood interior finished out the whole package.
This vehicle still shows all the reasons for Motor Trend's decision. While the 160hp is underwhelming in today's world, the V8 has plenty of grunt to get the big Caddy around. The interior is solid and clean, and the seats are very comfortable. The exterior is tremendous and the chrome shines brightly.
The engine fires and runs, and the transmission is crisp and smooth. This Caddy could easily be a new owner’s “Car of the Year.”
